Description:
Follow the links above for explanation of how to work the different parts of the lace.
As usual, the various colours are hidden in the passives of the Winkie pin twisted footside until required. The solid diamonds have are coloured by their workers. You would need a closely woven clothwork for this to work, with either a good thick thread, or a smaller pattern. The passives still show through in the photo - I obviously haven't done this!
The ground diamonds have no workers - the pairs from one side cross over the pairs from the other in cloth stitch.
